This carrier has ceased operations. Codes are retained as historical reference and may since have been reassigned.
Historic Eastern Air Lines (EA) liquidated January 1991; two qualifying-for-defunct sources read. FAA JO 7340.2P currently assigns EAL/EASTERN to EASTERN AIRLINES, LLC (High Point, NC) — a different, later company; our EA record is the historic carrier. Codes retained as historical fact.
